Conference ·
OSTI ID:137566

This paper summarizes a cost-benefit assessment of the seismic design of the waste-handling facilities associated with the prospective high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. It provides a very brief description of the methodology used and the costs and benefits of varying design levels for vibratory ground motions and surface fault displacements for structures, components, and equipment that are important to safety in the waste-handling facilities. 3 refs., 7 figs.
